I think Lin is directing both the 9th and 10th movies, probably back to back. Vin Diesel posted a video of him on set with him and Michelle Rodriguez last year.

LOL

Don’t bother posting comments like that. Simon Kinberg now works for Disney so he can pay actual publications to say it.

You make it sound like he’s a perfect fit for the MCU. The only thing that’s stopping Marvel Studios from hiring him is Abrams being a Level 50 Studio Boss instead of a Level 1 Independent in need of clan support.

Justin Lin should get more work making more ethnically-diverse action movies with interesting set pieces.

Because there is no reason to care about these talentless idiots

James Wan directed Aquaman, and he only directed Furious 7.

Bumblebee is still one of the most popular Transformers characters. Also this new movie is stylistically different from the previous ones, for better or worse.

Travis Knight has only directed one movie before this and it’s Kubo & The Two Strings at his own studio Laika (funded by his father’s Nike money). Before that he was an animator for Laika’s ParaNorman and The Boxtrolls, and also had a failed rap career.

It’s so weird how people react to that scene. Like, if you see an American soldier torture an Iraqi prisoner, you are supposed to think “that soldier is a monster for torturing that POW” not “why is that Heroic American Soldier(tm) being uncharacteristicly cruel towards that Evil Iraqi(tm)“. Even after seeing all the…

No, Bay had to do that. People seems to have trouble understanding that humans in his Transformers movies are pieces of shit even though they willingly assist the fascist Autobots.

Because it took ages and seeing multiple car companies profit from them before VW finally allow their brand to be associated with “war toys”

A section of Bay fans are super into foreign and/or generally-high-brow movies. They see Bay films as being heavily influenced by his art school education, up to including Cubist elements in the art direction of his Transformers movies. Not sure they are into cars much, though.

I am fine with not putting in Black Panther, a movie where a black culture’s power is undermined by the CIA worming its way into their civil war.

It involves a portal to hell, does it?

The entire Marvel Cinematic Universe is still playing catch-up to Spider-Man 2.

“Niall” is just a very British name.

That at least sounds like something George Lucas would do since he based the space combat in Star Wars on WW2 aerial battles.

Palpatine is smart. He knows making Vader too capable will mean trouble for him in the future.
